Was a disappointing 5th in the Gotham after a bad start and pulled up after the race and was vanned off. They are saying now he doesn't have a leg injury but does have muscle spasms in his back. Off the trail now with a torn suspensory ligament. According to owner Ernie Paragallo on DRF.com, he has "heat in his left front suspensory, and his ass-end is a little sore."
